UNITED STATES OWEN SHEEHAN, OF NEW WARPING BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.

-MACHINE SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,014, dated July 14, 1885.

Application filed December 29, 1883.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OWEN SHEEHAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New Bedford, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Warping- Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to machines for reeling yarn 5 and it consists of the sundry combinations and arrangements of parts substantially as hereinafter fully set forth and claimed, whereby the shifting or movement of the several parts of the machine and thefreversal of the rotation of the reel is effected automatic ally.

` In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a rear elevation of my machine. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof. Figs. 3 and 4 are different end views. Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation on the line x, Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a crosssectional elevation on line yy, Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is a horizontal section taken below the reel. Fig. 8 is a transverse section, looking toward the driving end of the machine on the line z z, Fig. 2. Fig. 9 is an enlarged detail view of the carrier-carriage L. Fig. l() is a similar view of the carriage-supporting frame m2,

and Figs. 11 and l2 are views of the pulleys and their straps with the inner ilange edge of each pulley removed.

In carrying out my invention I construct a suitable frame, A,such as will be conveniently adapted for supporting the operative mechanism.

B is the reel, with its shaft a, which is suitably journaled upon the frame A, provided at the driving end with a gear-wheel, a', gearing with a small pinion, c2, located on the same stud a3 with the gear-wheel to which it is rigidly connected,said stud being rigidly secured to a cross-piece of the frame A by ordinary means. The gear-wheel gears with a small pinion, c5, secured to a shaft, c6,which latter is journaled at its ends upon crosspieces of an annex of frame A, and carries two loose pulleys, b b, and a fast pulley, b', arranged centrally or between the loose pulleys.

C G are the driving-drums, which are located immediately beneath the aforesaid pul- (Modem leys, their shaft being suitably journaled in castings or supports secured to lower crosspieces of the annex of frame A.

D D are two belts, so applied to the driving-drums and the fixed pulley b that while one is on the fixed pulley the other is 0n the loose pulley,and reversely,one being a straight belt and the other being a crossed belt, from which source, through the above-described train of gearing, the reel is driven first in one direction and then the other, as will appear further on.

Upon the opposite end of the reel-shaft a, or rather a short distance inward therefrom, is a small pinion, c, meshing with two gearwheels, D2 D2, mounted and free to revolve on studs rigid with or fixed in brackets d d, secured to the side of a cross-piece of frame A. These gear-wheels D2 D2 are provided on one side with small grooved drums or windlasses D3 D3, which are formed or cast therewith, and sleeved upon their shafts, to turn with said wheels, which will be further referred to hereinafter.

Hung or pivoted upon brackets e, fastened to uprights of the frame A, a short distance below and about in the same vertical plane with the reel-shaft a, are pulleys E E', to the inner sides of which are fastened projecting arms E2 E3, which are curved upwardly in reverse directions and arranged in the plane of rotation or path of two arms or projections, f f2, constituted, respectively, by projecting a short distance outwardly from the disks or bands of the reel the opposite ends of two peripheral bars, f f3, of the reel B, which will be explained further.

Attached to the pulley E are short straps F F F8 F1", (see Figs. 6 and 12,) which are secured at one end by ordinary means to the said pulley at the point FT, and to the other or free end of the strap F is connected a cord or line, G, passing over a pulley, g', depending from the frame A some distance forward of the point of connection of the saidcord or line to the strap, and thence over a second pulley, g, depending from the frame A a short distance rearward from the pulley g, whence it is connected to one, J, of two hammer bars or levers, J J', presently described. The second cord or line, G, connected to the aforesaid strap F', is passed over a pulley, 7c, whose ICO block or support is fastened to the inner side of one of the uprights of the frame A, and thence connected to the lower end of one, I, of two levers, I I, pivoted in the upper front bar, It', of the frame in the path or plane of travel of the carriage, hereinafter described, the normal position and operation of which levers are just the opposite of that of the hammer bars or levers J J The hammer bars or levers J J are pivotcd near their lower ends to the same side of said front bar of frame, and connected together at their extreme lower ends by a spring, l, the action of which is to deflect outwardly the upper ends of said hainmerbars, or cause their said lat-ter ends to be removed farther apart. The levers I I will be treated of further on. Another cord or line, G, which is connected to t-he short strap F of the pulley E, passes down around a pulley, g2, whose support is fastened to a central bottom piece of the frame A, and from there around a pulley, g, similarly connected to the other end of said bottom piece. From here it passes upward around another pulley, Q",Figz 8, likewise connected to an upright of the frame A, and again around another pulley, g5, Fig. 2, whose support is connected to the annex of the fra-me A, and thence extended and fastened to the belt-shipper H. Said beltshipper is fulcrumed upon a bracket fastened to said annex of the frame A, and provided at one end with a hook, H', which embraces one side of and controls the shipping of one driving-belt, while at a short distance inward from the hook H said shipper is provided with a second hook, H2, which embraces one side of and controls the shipping of the crossed belt. The pulley E is controlled by a spring, i, fastened to one of the lower horizontal crosspieces of the frame A, said spring being also connected by a cord, i, to the short strap F* of the pulley E.

Attached to the pulley E are short straps F2 F3 F* F, (see Figs. S and 11,) which are secured at 011e end by ordinary means t0 the said pulley at the point F5, and to the other or free end ofthe strap FL is connected a cord or line, G, passing around a pulley, i,whose support is fastened to the inner side of one of the uprights of the frame A at that end thereol", and it is then connected to the lower end of the lever I. A cord or line, G, is connected to the outer or free end of the strap F, and is passed first over a pulley, m, and under a pulley, m, whose blocks or supports are suitably fastened, one to a side bar of the frame A, and the other to the inner sido of the front bar. Said cord or line is then connected to the lower end of the hammer bar or lever J. The strap Ft, likewise secured to the pulley E at the point F5, as before stated, extends upward a short distance, and to the end of said strap Fl is connected another cord or line, G", which is ear ried upward and over a pulley, I, at the up perinost end of the frame A, and thence downward and passed around under a pulley, g,

supported upon the annex of frame A, and thence connected to the belt-shipper H. The pulley E is controlled by a spring, i, similar to that which controls the pulley E. Said spring is likewise fastened to one ofthe lower horizontal cross-pieces of the frame A, and is also connected by a cord or line, i, to a short strap, F", of the pulley E.

K is a sliding check -rod which passes through and rests in tubular brackets m, fastened to the inner sides of the front cornerposts of the frame A, and through a siiuilar bracket, mt, fastened to a frame, m2, secured around the carriage L, whose lower end is fitted to travel in a groove of the upper front bar, I2, of the frame A, said frame m2 (containing thc carriage) being provided with eyes for reception of and to permit of its sliding upon a rod, M, secured in the upper ends of the front corner-posts of frame A.

Hung in the upper and lower portions of an opening of the carriage L are grooved rolls i1, between which the yarn passes to the reel B.

To revert to the check-rod K, it will be seen that it is controlled by two cords or lines, N N, connected indirectly to the belt-shipper H, as will appear hereinafter. The cord or line N is connected to an eye, N, fastened to said rod, and thence passed over a pulley, o, whose bracket or block is fastened to the inner side of one of the front corner-posts of frame A, whence it is passed around two pulleys, o o', Fig. 3, thence carried upward and over a pulley, et, at the uppermost end of said frame, and finally carried across the frame to and around a pulley, 03, at the opposite side of the frame, where it is connected with or to the cord or line G'1 of the pulley E', connecting with the belt-lever H. The cord or line N is likewise connected to an eye, N7, fastened to the check-rod K, and is passed over a pulley, ot", upward to and over a puley, o", upon the frame A directly under the pulley o", whence it is passed down and connected with or to the cord or line G1I just before the latter is passed over the pulley g5, leading to and connected with the beltshipper H, as before stated. By this arrangement it will be seen that the two lines, N N', (one moving with the sliding cheek-rod K to the right and the other moving with said rod to the left,) are connected, one, N, to the cord or line G, leading from the pulley E, and the other, N', to the cord or line G, leading from the pulley E', the purpose of which will appear further on.

OG is a cord or line connected to or passed through an eye or tubular extension, O7, on the carriageframe m2, and knotted on each side of said eye. The cord or line Ofis passed around a pulley, p, connected to one of the front corner-posts of the frame A. Said cord or line is then connected to and coiled around the grooved drums or windlasses D D of the gear-wheels DZ, said line being passed to said windlasses from the upper side, and after hav- IIO ing been coiled around said windlasses a suitable number of times it is then passed around two other pulleys, 19 p', arranged upon the upper rear bar of the frame near its rear corner-posts, after which it is extended to and passed around the pulley p2, connected to one of the front corner-posts of the frame A, and is then connected to or passed through an eye or tubular extension, OS, on the carriage-frame m2, (knotted on each side of said eye,) the effect of which arrangement is to enable the moving of the carriage L in either of two directions-to the right or to the leftas will be more fully understood hereinafter.

I? is the guide through which the yarn is fed, after the passage of the latter through the opening, and between the rolls of the carriage to the reel B, said guide having a straight central portion provided on its upper side at the rear end with an eye for the passage of the yarn, and having two curved forwardlyprojecting arms, P P2, extending to each side of the carriage L, and transversely to its line of travel. The guide P is pivoted by one of said arms, P', to one of two parallel arms, g q', in turn pivoted to vibrate vertically upon the carriage L,while its other arm, P2, is provided on the under side with a projection or stud, r, entering a slightly-curved slot, s, in the arms q', whereby the guide is allowed to adapt itself to the direction in which the yarn is being fed upon the reel, which is controlled according to the direction of its rotation, and to have a horizontal back-and-forth movement upon its pivot to shift the direction of feeding the yarn upon the reel.

QQ are two hooks, clamped adj ustably upon longitudinally-slotted plates or bars, Q2 Q3, which are sleeved and capable of sliding or adjustment upon peripheral rods ofthe reel B, one hook pointing forwardly and the other rearwardly.

In operation it will be seen that presuming the reel B to be in action, laying the yarn thereon, and the carriage L to have traveled to or as far as the lever I, which movement of the carriage is effected by the cord or line O6, (connected to the eyes O7 and 08,) drums D3 D3, and gearing D'z D2, the belt-shipper cord or line N', connected to an eye, N7, ofthe checkrod K,will be so acted upon by the said checkrod K as to cause, in connection with the cord or line G, to which it is connected, the shipper H to ship the belt D from the fast pulley b upon one of the loose pulleys b, and thus ship the belt D upon said fast pulley b, thereby causing the reversal of the operative mechanism by the reversal of the transmittal of power. When the carriage L traveled as far as and operated the lever I, as before stated, the cord or line G, connected to the pulley E, in causing the partial rotation of said pulley thereby brought its arm of projection E2 in plane to be acted upon by the projection f of the reel-arm f, thereby stopping the direction of the rotation of said reel, as also causing the Shipping of the two drivin g-belts, whereby the reversal of the operative mechanism was effected, as before stated. Immediately upon release of the projection f of the reel -arm f from the arm or projection E2 the pulley Eis returned to its normal position by action of the spring i. The reversal of the rotation of the reel having been effected, as above stated, the same will continue to revolve, and consequently continue to act upon the carriage L until the same acts upon the contiguous lever I', which will, through the cord or line G2, act upon the pulley E', which will thus receive a partial rotation and bring its arm or projection E3 in plane to be acted upon by the projection f2 of the reel-arm f3, and effect the stopping of the direction of the rotation of the reel and the shifting of the driving-belt, whichv latter is effected by the cord or line N connected to the check-rod K in conjunction with the cord or line Gl of the pulley E. By this movement the belt-shipper H is caused to ship belt D from the fast pulley b to one ofthe loose pulleys b, and thereby ship the belt D upon said fast pulley, and thus again causing the reversal of the transmittal of power, and cause the reel to revolve in the required or reverse direction from that in which it last revolved, to effect the reverse laying or winding of the yarn thereon. Simultaneously with the action of the carriage L on the lever I the partial rotation imparted to the said pulley E will pull upon the hammer-bar or lever J through the cord or line G3, and cause said rod or lever to strike the guide P, which will effect the throwing or looping of the yarn carried thereby over a hook or projection, Q', of the plate or bar Q3, the same being the oppositely-projecting hook from that around which the yarn was previously looped, which was effected by the corresponding means. In again reversing the motion of the reel it will be understood that the vduplicate mechanism of that referred to in connection with the operation as just detailed will be brought into requisition, effecting the reversal of the travel of the yarnguide, together with its aforesaid adjunctive parts and the consequent laying of the yarn in a reverse direction upon the reel.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
